After what seemed like a poor week of practices, Penn State took an entire half to get situated and pull away from Buffalo. Getting punched in the mouth early was exactly the sort of game a young team needed, you can’t just walk in and have a victory handed to you. I expect a much crisper effort against Pitt this week, despite the early start. There will likely be an emphasis to get the run game sorted out, but James Franklin will want to leave no doubt on the scoreboard in the final game of this series whatever way he can, so the Panthers, their fans, and the Pittsburgh media are left without anything to hold onto about trying to continue it.
